   Local color guards, re-enactors and Scout troops are invited to help Lee Patrick Anderson "Walk in the Footsteps of History" this summer.
   
   Over three months, the military historian from Pennsylvania will trace the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route taken in 1781 by French and Continental forces from Newport, R.I., to Yorktown, Va., passing in part through Westchester and Rockland counties.
   
   The walk, endorsed by the National Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route Association, is being made to diplomatically recognize the military aid France provided to the United States, and to scout out the trail and sites for related events during the next three years.
   
   Anderson intends to follow, as much as possible, the 650-mile route that U.S. and French allied armies under the command of Gens.

   Anderson said he wanted to do the walk "to raise public awareness about the upcoming anniversary all along the route and focus attention not only on the big cities, but also on the smaller towns, camps and grave sites."

   Anderson said he hopes to replicate the King's Ferry crossing of the Hudson River by boat from Verplanck's Point to Stony Point on July 15 and make an evening presentation at the Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site.

   ...
   "Lee Anderson's solitary march along the route that first the French army and then both armies followed to Yorktown (Virginia) will educate local citizens, particularly students, about the contributions of the soldiers of both armies and New York to American independence," Johnson said.
